Killer who drove ex-girlfriend to her own grave won't have prison sentence extended

A killer who drove his ex-girlfriend to her own grave will not have his prison sentence extended.

Andrew Burfield killed Katie Kenyon by repeatedly her hitting over the head with an axe. He then covered her body in a grave he had pre-prepared and sent text messages to her children to pretend she was still alive.

Katie's family first became suspicious of Burfield when they received texts with poor grammar and spelling. In police interviews, Burfield repeatedly denied he killed Katie, however eventually admitted his guilt on the third day of his murder trial at Preston Crown Court, reports LancsLive.
